. act in the weights of the sleeve and its contents, to' raise the oint when the pen 1s laid revent it fromdown and also a apted to rolling when laid on an inc med surface.

The converging end 25 of'the sleeve is slotted deeply enough to give a good grip on the weight 19 so that it will not rattle;

and the flanged end is deeply slotted to form fingers, 21 which can be bent inward to adjust the friction between them and the pen cup; and one finger is outwardly offset to form a clip, 23, adapted to slip over the fabr1c of a arment (gas a pocket-edge) secure the pten t ereto an prevent droppmg or losmg 1 Having thus described my invention, I claim: 1

A detachable counter-weight for fountain ens and the like, comprising a sleeve havmg a plurality of short fingers at one end thereof, a plurality of longer fingers at the other end thereof, said short fingers being inwardly turned, said long fingers being outwardly turned at their ends, one of said lon fingers being off-set out of the plane of t e other long fingers, and a weight .member in engagement with said mwardly turnedv short fingers.
